- ghaff 5y agoSome people do want to simply put their work into the public domain to the degree they can. Personally a permissive license probably makes more sense but I appreciate someone saying they don’t want to have anything to do with this copyright stuff.
- rectang 5y agoI have used CC0 for code that I would like people to be able to use in code licensed however they choose, without having to bother with attribution. Sample code, for instance. If they're being responsible, they only have to note the provenance of the code in version control. After that, they can basically treat it like their own.
- paxys 5y agoThe MIT license isn't owned or managed by MIT in any capacity. The name was given to it many decades ago (since it is derived from a bunch of licenses used by MIT at the time) and it just stuck.
- badsectoracula 5y ago> This is more like work for for free for Amazon license Pretty much any open source license would be that, the main difference this one provides is that Amazon wont even have to acknowledge you worked for them for free :-P
